At around 1:00 pm, a group of Bochurim from Vien Camp with their staff went on a hike at the Big Indian Wilderness near Neversink, N.Y. where the hike was scheduled to end at around 5:30 pm.
A group of Bochurim that has finished the hike earlier then scheduled were waiting for the rest of the group to exit the forest. After realizing that the group wasn’t exiting the forest, they tried to call them on their cellphone, unfortunately they were unreachable due to a lack of service.
The group that have already existed eventually contacted Chaveirim of Rockland and Hatzolah, where the two organizations along with forest rangers have launched a search.
